Combining classic Chevrolet form with a hot LS3, a custom Street Shop chassis and a leather-lined interior, this awesome Corvette is a ground-up build that mixes the best aspects of yesterday with the best advancements of today. If you're in the market for a solid collectable that's comfortable, fast, reliable and absolutely stunning, this no-compromise Vette is your next ride!
Sealed in a striking combination of DuPont waterborne pigment, this slick roadster's incredibly straight fuselage is much nicer than anything that rolled off a 46 year old assembly line. Naturally, that body features better-than-factory alignment, reflecting razor-sharp two-stage that's been polished and wet-sanded to a stellar shine. And that combination of form, fit and flash suggests the car's restorer spent many labor-intensive hours ensuring top notch finish work.
Widely considered one of the world's greatest powerplants, this Chevy's Generation IV LS3 small block utilizes aluminum construction, high flow heads, a high flow intake, an aggressive cam and an upgraded injection system to mix hours of thrills with miles of impressive fuel economy. And, at 480 horsepower, the smooth revving engine is certainly no slouch in the performance department. GM's familiar fuel rail covers sport modern Corvette graphics. The engine's bland serpentine system is fitted with a Powermaster alternator and fronted with a flash of billet aluminum. A short air tube terminates with a big, reusable filter element. There's a beefy Griffin radiator that's equipped with efficient Spal puller fans. And modern power steering combines with big headers, a tough Optima battery and a familiar Wilwood master cylinder to detail an otherwise purpose-built performer.
Behind that stout LS3, a reliable Tremec TKO600 5-speed twists torque to a rugged Dana third member. That pumpkin spins a posi-traction differential around high quality, aluminum half shafts and moderate, 3.42 gears. That first class drivetrain rolls on a fourth generation Corvette independent suspension that's been fitted with a 1-inch sway bar, fresh urethane bushings and a sweet combination of QA-1 and Hyperco coil-overs. Turns come courtesy of Detroit Speed-supplied Mustang power rack and pinion steering. Smooth and solid stops are provided by red, multi-piston Wilwood calipers that squeeze big, drilled and slotted rotors. And power flows through polished Billet Specialties wheels, which spin 235/40ZR18 Michelin Pilot Sports in front of 275/40ZR18 Michelin Pilot Sports.
Open this C2's tossable doors and you'll find a plush red interior that was completely replaced during the car's extensive restoration. Seating comes courtesy of firm leather thrones that are anchored between new seatbelts, bright stainless trim and a small console that's centered on a traditional chrome shifter. From the driver's perch, an era-correct, Vintage Air-backed dash hangs an old school AM/FM radio below correct instrumentation that's upfitted with an electronic tachometer. And in front of that tach, a satin-spoked steering wheel spins a brilliant cross-flag emblem around a tilting Flaming River column.
